With all the songwriting and vocal competitions ongoing. Vocal groups will now get the chance to show their talent as the first ever contemporary a cappella ensemble singing competition is about to open.
Akapela Open is a project spearheaded by The Music School of Ryan Cayabyab.
Akapela Open aims (1) to promote the love for contemporary a cappella singing and appreciation for vocal harmony performance; (2) to provide a venue for new arrangements of Philippine and International contemporary vocal music; (3) to provide growth experiences for singers and arrangers; (4) to cultivate a community of contemporary a cappella singers.
Starting August 1, online registrations and submissions of entries will begin until September 7 at exactly 11:59pm. The competition is then divided into four levels --
Level 1 - Auditions via video and sent online
Level 2 - Live auditions for those who pass level 1
Level 3 - Semi-finals
Level 4 - Finals night
Last July 6, a few were chosen to take part of a troubleshooting vocal workshop conducted by the Maestro, himself. Three a cappella groups were invited to perform a song or two. The audience will then provide feedback on what they think of the performance. It was a worthwhile event. I've learned something new and heard a couple of terminologies I haven't encountered when I was still in the music industry.
There will be another Troubleshooting for A cappella Arranging and Performance on 10 August (Saturday) 2-5pm at the Meralco Little Theater. It's for free and slots are limited. Register PERSONALLY before August 10 at The Music School of Ryan Cayabyab.
